The Good Mother: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Literacy Advice to Mothers in the 20th Century

This is a doctoral thesis passed along to me by a friend. She quoted it in a meeting we were in saying "sometimes the things we choose to teach say more about us than they do about those we are trying to teach" or something along those lines. It stuck with me. This paper is a compelling discussion about how parents and especially women get trapped by the idea, fed to us through culture, and rooted in patriarchy, of the unreachable goal of the"good mother". Read on to get the gist. http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/?year=2014&country=27

Pre fab ponderings

Lately I have been thinking about the allure of Pre fab. Some friends of ours recently put up their house in just 8 days which, even in the most energetic of cases on Haida Gwaii is legendary.

I have had a couple of sites reccommended to me based on their price point, which is nice. One is Allpro the other is Norpine. Neither of these sites actually show pricing, so I imagine I will have to call the numbers to get the skinny.

As far as design, the nicest ones I have come across are on this site which at least give a rough estimate of $100-$140 per square foot.
